5 May 2025AFL premiership players Steven May and Dion Prestia are expected to be charged by police following an investigation into an alleged 2am brawl, 7NEWS Melbourne’s Mitch Cleary reports.
The former Gold Coast Suns teammates were celebrating a bucks party at Sorrento’s Continental Hotel on Boxing Day but denied being involved in a fight that later broke out on nearby streets.
Two men were taken to hospital after an incident in Sorrento in the early hours of December 27.
An investigation ramped up in the past fortnight, with May, Prestia and a 26-year-old man interviewed by police.
They are now expected to be charged on summons.
“Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit detectives have interviewed three men as part of their investigation into an affray in Sorrento on 27 December,” police said.
“The interviews follow a report to police about a physical altercation between two groups of men on Point Nepean Road about 2am.
“Two men were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries at the time.
“A 32-year-old man from Hawthorn, a 33-year-old man from Mount Eliza and a 26-year-old Blairgowrie man have all been interviewed in relation to the incident.
“The trio are expected to be charged on summons.”
Melbourne and Richmond are yet to comment.
